“I enjoyed helping out and it was fun. As a single mum, I don’t go out a lot. So it was nice to get out, help out, meet people and have fun doing so.” Amanda Elmes, Volunteer

Do you want to be part of a fun, social group of people? Do you want to help make a wonderful local resource a vibrant and exciting place to be? Then why not get involved at Newport Memorial Hall? There are plenty of ways you can get involved. You can even do it from the comfort of your own armchair!

Without the support of some fantastic people, we would not be able to put on any of the great events we do. But we need more people to help us. You don’t have to be young, just young at heart, and with a strong sense of the common good.

And as a supporter, we want to show you how much we appreciate you. In return for giving your support, we give you:

The bar is a vital part of putting on successful events at the hall and profit from the bar forms a significant part of the Hall’s income. We need social people with sense of fun to help make our bar a success.

The Hall doesn’t have a marketing budget so we need people to help us with this: putting up posters, sharing and retweeting events on social media or selling raffle tickets or ‘ducks’ in the famous annual Duck Race.

The Medieval Kiln Project is a great new project happening at the Hall which will benefit everyone: you, the wider community as well as boosting the local economy.

Based in West Wales, Meriel shares an approach to movement and yoga associated with Vanda Scaravelli. This way of practicing cultivates presence and vitality by attending to the quality and refinement in the movement and breath one experiences. We are able to be dynamic if needed and address functional movements in our lives whilst touching on quietness within.

Exploring movement as a way to deeply release and relax patterns of tension in the body and our whole lives we begin to experience a type of wholeness or ease of being. The multi-facted strengths uncovered by this quiet approach are radically different from stressful overextension and over-exertion. Subtlety allows ‘our best energy‘ (Diane Long) and that state of grace offers us a return to our natural vibrancy and vividness.

TCTSY

Meriel also facilities TCTSY privately as a body-based yoga intervention for people who’ve experienced chronic relational trauma. TCTSY is researched & continues to evolve with Dr Bessel Van de Kolk’s team at the Trauma Centre, Justice Institute, Boston. Meriel is committed to offering trauma-informed yoga and spaces for all.

Her teachers

Meriel works with anyone at all who is interested regardless of experience. Her approach is inspired by the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli as taught to her by Scaravelli’s long term student Diane Long and her student Christine Borg.
